that the insects collected were brought in ])y interested natives 

 and may have come from some distance. None of the three 

 have been captured north of che river since the date of their 

 description (1871). 



The females in this group are remarkably dissimilar from the 

 males. Euribates Cramer is a female, and Skinner followed 

 Godman and Salvin, who in the Biologia, sunk the name hesus 

 under euribates. However, it is perhaps best to use the former 

 name until the two sexes are definitely proved to be those of 

 the same species. The male genitalia show a single shagreened 

 scaphium, and the aedoeagus includes numerous floating spines.

Typical aiinjntds, Biologia, pi. 77, fig. 9. 



There is no difference in the male genitalia between the 

 typical Florida and Arizona forms. 



The uncus terminals are bifid, two long arms of scaphium 

 shagreened at terminus, aedoeagus slender and naked and this 

 species has a well developed juxta which may act as a support 

 for the last. 



The type and paratypes of arizonensis are in the Academy 

 Collection, (Florence, Arizona; Biederman). 



7. Proteides idas Cramer (Fig. G.) 



Biologia, plate 77, fig. .5. 



The scaphium is somewhat shagreened above and the aedoe- 

 agus contains two short candle-shaped spines.
